PAPER FINISHING CORD Filed Dec. 26, 1929 @5- W/ v/// z 7 INVENTOR Wade 5. cSac/mer Y ay-6a A TTORNE Y 5 @atented July 2i, 1931 E. SACMER, F GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN, ASSIGNDR T0 GRAND RAPIDS FIBRE 30133) (:JOMPANY, OF GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN rerun rmrsnrne conn Application filed December 26, 1929. Serial No. 416,410.

The object of the invention is to provide a substantially cylindrical paper finishing edge roll or cord with an efiective means of attachment, such means being available independent or any covering whatsoever, thereby avoiding the usual attaching cover or case.

A preferred embodiment of my invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Fig. 1 is a side elevation view of a section of cord of substantially "full size.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail and View of the cord appearing in Fig. 1.

The cordis made up of tough paper, preferably a plurality of strips being twisted and crumpled together and delivered through a proper die to make round cor-d. Then the round cord is introduced into a further forming die which embraces and compresses with very heavy pressure the attaching rib so that the cord has a main body portion 1 and a heavily compressed attaching rib 2. At intervals through the attaching rib are perforations 3. In the size of cord illustrated these I are about one inch apart.

These holes are preferably punched through with a, pointed punch, although they can be drilled or otherwise formed.- The perforations 3 may receive tacks or they may provide the means for suitable stitching -of wire or thread to attach the cord in place. The usual cord is covered and the covering means is'the attaching means. This is entirely obviated. The result is a great saving in both material and labor. Tacking through the li likewise is q uicker and results in a much oetter piece OI work when finished.

The cord is available in upholstering or in the construction of furniture generally where a round covered bead is desired.

l have shown the preferred form of the cord and indicated the preferred method of manufacture which results 'in a very strong, compact, attaching lip or rib. By its formation the attaching means is concealed in the.

I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

1. A cord or edge roll formed of strips of paper twisted and molded together with an attaching rib formed integral therewith by molding and condensing from the body of the cord and suitablyperforated.

2. A cord or edge roll formed of strips of paper molded together with an attaching rib formed integral therewith by molding and condensing from the body of the cord and suitably perforated.

3. A cord or'edge roll of strips or" paper twisted and molded together with an attaching rib formed integral therewith by molding and condensing from the body of the cord.

4. A cord or edge roll formed of strips of paper molded together with an attaching rib formed integral therewith by molding and condensing from the body oi the cord.

5. A cord or edge roll of paper twisted and molded and having an attaching rib formed integral with one side of a more condensed texture.

6. A cord or edge roll of paper molded and having an attaching rib formed integral with one side of a more condensed texture.

7. A cord of fiber material molded and having an attaching rib, formed integral with one side, of a condensed texture.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
